Matthew 21:1-10
John 12:18-19
Matthew 21:12-14.
4 WAYS TO ENSURE YOU'RE NOT A PALM TREE WAVER AND COAT GIVER THAT MISSES THE MESSAGE AND KILLS THE MESSENGER.
1- Don’t forget “your king is coming to you” when you feel like you cannot come to him.. A gentle disposition is his heart for you.. Do you view him this way in your walk?
2- Salvation and suffering have been hand in hand since the blood purchased the life.. If you have a view of God that omits any type of suffering or hardship this is an incorrect view, for our faith is founded upon life, light and beauty that comes from death, darkness and ashes.
3- JESUS IS LORD OF ALL, NOT A POLITICAL HEAD OF STATE. We have too narrow a view of power, and narrower still of how God uses his.. If your heart is connected to an institution or person more than him, don’t be surprised if you're caught in the wrong place after you thought you gave your coat and waved the palm branch.
4- If we wanna wave the palm branches and lay our coats down, we are saying you have permission to reorient and reposition our personhood to the ways of being a faithful follower of only Jesus. Your no strings attached, full hearted trust in Jesus will be tested the moment you wave the branch and drop the coat... press into it.
